”Savusauna” smoke sauna, a unique experience you will never forget!

Savusauna is a unique experience for all. Forget modern electric saunas and try this exquisite relaxing sauna.

Kuerkievari staff will start wood heating the sauna at 6 am and keep slowly heating throughout the day to ensure a perfect bathing experience for the evening. Old traditions live strong and we encourage guests to try the sauna in true Finnish style: take your time, never hurry, enjoy the heat and steam of the sauna and let your worries disappear. Take small breaks outside and see yourself steaming in the cold. If you are courageous enough, roll in the snow and warm up again in the sauna.

There are no words to describe the feeling when walking through a snowy yard to the welcoming savusauna. Imagine a smoky steaming sauna, minus degrees outside, snow, darkness, silence and occasional Northern Lights.
